Feel free to reach out if you don't receive your emails after Sept 16 on your device.
fordwilliams i also have the same problem as you i have received an email saying i need to upgrade my hotmail and outlook email accounts for security reasons but i find the information how to do it very confusing
i have deleted the outlook account on my iPhone and reinstalled it hoping that will upgrade the security but it never showed any changes to me not sure if that method works apart from that i am completely at a loss how to upgrade as i do not understand the procedure in the email I received
Basically, MSFT stops supporting 'basic authentication'.
The latest versions of Outlook, Apple Mail, and Thunderbird will all support these changes, so this will largely affect any app that hasn’t been updated to support “Modern Auth".
Starting with iOS 11.0, the native mail client has support for OAuth 2.0. (OAuth 2.0 = "modern authentication")
